House District 23 fills vacant seat
The Cascade County Commission has filled a vacant seat in the state legislature after the previous office holder resigned earlier this summer. Republican Eric Tillman will now hold the seat for House District 23, previously held by Representative Scott Kearns. Kearns announced his resignation from the position in June, citing a move to Pennsylvania to run a Lutheran church. Tillman and two other potential appointees were nominated by the Cascade County Republican Central Committee earlier this month. Tillman will have to run for the seat in November against Democratic candidate Sandra Hopkins.
